Sports nutrition, hydration and supplements

Fuel decides performance: carbohydrate timing, protein for repair, fluid balance and the short list of supplements with good evidence. Food comes first; the rest is marketing wearing a lab coat. This is the real knowscape from knowhere, not a picture of one. Drag it. Watch what actually changes.

in the wild

Training works like your phone battery.

Every part of this topic is the same move: you take an athlete who's already training and ask where the next gain hides — in what they eat, how they recover, how they read the contest, or how they stay uninjured. Training builds the engine; this topic is everything around the engine that decides whether it delivers. The exam wants the margin, not the workout.

You start the day fully charged, reserves topped up and ready to work.

Each hard session drains the battery fast — energy pours out into training load.

Food and sleep recharge you overnight, refilling reserves for tomorrow's session.

what examiners catch — Students waste exam time discussing unproven supplements or cannot specify timing protocols for carbohydrate loading versus intra-training fueling for different energy systems.
what you leave with

five things, not forty.

what's underneath

nothing here is a standalone fact.

knowhere maps every concept to what it rests on and what rests on it — 0 underneath this one, 3 built on top. Each one says why, in a sentence, not as an arrow on a diagram.
